Pull staging tree changes from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here is the big staging tree pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge
  window.

  Loads of changes here, and we just narrowly added more lines than we
  added:
   622 files changed, 28356 insertions(+), 26059 deletions(-)

  But, good news is that there is a number of subsystems that moved out
  of the staging tree, to their respective "real" portions of the
  kernel.

  Code that moved out was:
	- iio core code
	- mei driver
	- vme core and bridge drivers

  There was one broken network driver that moved into staging as a step
  before it is removed from the tree (pc300), and there was a few new
  drivers added to the tree:
	- new iio drivers
	- gdm72xx wimax USB driver
	- ipack subsystem and 2 drivers

  All of the movements around have acks from the various subsystem
  maintainers, and all of this has been in the linux-next tree for a
  while.

  Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman &lt;gregkh@linuxfoundation.org&gt;"

Fixed up various trivial conflicts, along with a non-trivial one found
in -next and pointed out by Olof Johanssen: a clean - but incorrect -
merge of the arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9g20.dtsi file.  Fix up manually
as per Stephen Rothwell.

<title>staging: usb: gadget: Add Configurable Composite Gadget driver</title>
<updated>2012-05-16T12:31:42+00:00</updated>

<id>332bb43f7c4baea2a0dce7ae2c078c55e14d37b5</id>
<content type='text'>
The Configurable Gadget driver is a composite driver that allows
userspace to change at runtime the list of functions enabled in
its configuration and to configure these functions. It supports
multiple functions: acm, rndis, and mass storage.

It is usually controlled by a daemon that changes the configuration
based on user settings. For example, rndis is enabled when the user
enables sharing the phone data connection.

As an example on how to use it, the following shell commands will
make the gadget disconnect from the host and make it be re-enumerated
as a composite with 1 rndis and 2 acm interfaces, and a different
product id:

echo 0       &gt; /sys/class/ccg_usb/ccg0/enable
echo rndis,acm &gt; /sys/class/ccg_usb/ccg0/functions
echo 2       &gt; /sys/class/ccg_usb/ccg0/f_acm/instances
echo -n 0x2d01 &gt; /sys/module/g_ccg/parameters/idProduct
echo 1       &gt; /sys/class/ccg_usb/ccg0/enable

The driver requires a gadget controller that supports software
control of the D+ pullup and the controller driver must support
disabling the pullup during composite_bind.

Now that we have a "real" driver for the quatech devices, we can remove
the drivers/staging/quatech_usb2/ driver as it is no longer needed.

Thanks to Bill Pemberton for writing the new driver.

It was marked as BROKEN back in 2008. It is because the tty handling
in the driver is really broken.

There was some activity in January 2012 to fix the driver, but the
patch was commented to be bogus:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/29/160
and we have not heard back from the author since then:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/28/412

So since nobody stepped in and rewrote the driver, it is time to move
it out of line now. And drop it some time later if nobody comes up
with patches to fix the driver in staging.

commit 3a0db7215c88077b61a673215756ec4a0dc0c7a5

    "TTY: serial, move 68360 driver to staging"

did so because the driver had remained broken since 2008.  It also
added this text to the TODO file:

   "If no one steps up to adopt any of these drivers, they will
    be removed in the 3.4 release."

A quick search on the internet doesn't reveal anyone actively
trying to update/fix this driver, so follow through on the above
and remove it from the pending 3.4 release.
